“Several times in years past I have asked for the prayers of this meeting, and always found them answered.”

CURED OF EPILEPSY.

“I wrote you to aid me by your prayers, that my afflicted son, who was troubled with epilepsy, might be cured.  Thanks be to the Heavenly Father, he is better.”

ALMOST LOST.

“Your prayers and mine for my son have been answered.  He was almost lost, on the downward road of intemperance.  He has now reformed.”

A SITUATION OBTAINED BY PRAYER.

“Yesterday I sent a request that God would give me sustaining grace and abiding faith, and in his own good time give me a situation where I might be able to support my family.  In that very afternoon, I made a contract of $1,200 a year.  Praise the Lord.”

A BOUNTIFUL BLESSING.

“Some time ago I solicited your prayers for a blessing on my services, and never, in all my life before have I been blessed as since that time.  ’Tis truly wonderful; it has seemed as if I must have become some one else, and that it could not longer be me speaking with such boldness, and apparent success.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”

SAVED FROM THE COMPANY OF A BAD LOVER.

“A week ago I begged you to pray for my daughter, who had given her heart to an unworthy man, praying that God might guide her to see him as he is, and turn her love from him.  She is a child of God.  In answer, God has caused a rupture between them.”

AWAY FROM HOME, BUT NOT AWAY FROM GOD.

“Some weeks since I sent in a request for prayer for my sons who had fallen victims to intemperance and vice.  My heart rejoices to-day in the hope that it has.

“Two who left home, and had gone to distant cities to seek employment, have written me to pray that they may be able to forsake sin in all its forms, and come to Christ and be Christians.  One of them was skeptical when he left home.  The one remaining at home has resolved to quit drinking.”

GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS BELIEVING PRAYER.

“Your prayers asked on several occasions have all been graciously answered.  Return thanks unto the Lord that sendeth mercy.”

THE HARDEST HEART YIELDS AT LAST.

“Several years since your prayers were solicited in behalf of one who seemed given over to hardness of heart and reprobacy of mind.  Since that time there has been some reform in his life.  God only knows how far those prayers have been answered in restraining grace.  Last week he said to the friend who had solicited your prayers for him, ’I wish you would ask Fulton Street prayer-meeting to pray again for me. I believe it did me good.’”
